A Plea For Civilization

Yahweh, God, Allah,

All Your names!

Dearest One,

Bestow wisdom upon all!

All inhabitants of this earth,

You raised all!

Nobody is lesser,

Nobody is superior.

Dearest One,

Bestow presence of mind to all!

There is no purchasing power of the birthright, yes?

There is no higher value placed upon those born propertied, yes?

Everybody’s graciousness is his or her recognizance, no?

Dearest One,

Bestow Your wisdom upon all!
